New Jersey Childhood Disability Benefits Lawyers

The federal government provides benefits to individuals with disabilities who have been suffering from their condition since childhood. According to the law, they must have sustained their disability before the age of 22. Though the individual may be an adult when he or she is receiving the funds, it is still technically considered a childhood benefit since it is paid on a parent’s earnings record.

As with other government programs, the qualifying criteria for childhood disability benefits can be very difficult to understand. However, an experienced attorney can help ensure that you receive all of the funds to which you are entitled. If you need assistance in filing your claim or have questions about the process, contact the New Jersey childhood disability benefits lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529 today.

Qualifying for Childhood Disability Benefits

In order for an individual to qualify for child disability benefits, one of his or her parents must:

  • Be receiving Social Security retirement/disability benefits, or
  • Have died and paid into the Social Security program for a sufficient length of time prior to death

Disabilities can be especially difficult to deal with if you are not receiving funds from the government for which you qualify. To help ensure that you are receiving the funds you deserve, consult an attorney with experience in this area of law. Social Security benefit lawyers know how to speak the language of the Social Security office and can make sure that nothing slips through the crack regarding your claim.
